    Have you noticed all the young wans' are wearing maroon chinos or skinny jeans nowadays, the boys and the girls. What is this uniform look all about? They must be half price in Penneys or something.

    Do you own a pair of these maroon pants?

    I think they're lovely.
    Haven't got any because I've been pregnant, and now I must lose a bunch of weight.
    But then I shall be straight to the shop to buy some lovely maroon pants :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,614 ✭✭✭ArtSmart


    ah yes, the skinny jeans for guys thingy. I remember that surfaced briefly in the 70's (well it lasted for about 6 years)

    although make-up wasn't part of the look.

    yer woman on the LLS, 'metrosexuality'. lol. the sexuality of jeans i assume she meant

    Maroon chinos give me a reason to dislike someone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    They look lovely on a girl with a nice arse. Nobody else can pull it off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,704 ✭✭✭squod


    maroon chinos

    They make you move like Jagger.

    I see After Hours have moved on from complaining about skinny jeans to complaining about certain colours of skinny jeans. Is this progression?

    Maroon pants are the new check shirt it seems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Immaculate Pasta


    People who wear any sort of pants are a waste of space. :cool:

    This reminds me of my attitude when I was 13. It also kind of reminds me of my mother saying things like "is it a boy or a girl? It's hard to tell these days" in response to a local guy getting his ear pierced.

    I really hate check shirts.

    I have a pair and it's slick! OP probably dislike them cause he's too old to wear them lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 133 ✭✭Joni23


    I call them bressie pants. One of those awful fashions like men with v-neck plunge tops that hopefully goes away very soon.

    And in highlighting my post, I see I've made one of the worst internet offences - spelled they're wrong!
    Must edit that now. :)

    You may be right, I probably am too old but I have no urge to wear them.

    What's slick?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    I fancy myself being in the band Maroon 5, so I wear the colour maroon, at every possibility. You're a spiteful little man


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 436 ✭✭wendydoll


    I have admit the maroon ones aren't the worst.... My ex came home one day with sky blue ones. They were awful.

    He had also bought a pair of mustard yellow Toms to "go with them".

    He was spending too much time in Dundrum Town Centre :p

    Do the pants not clash with your hat?

    I'm not sure about maroon trousers but I wouldn't mind wearing Adam Levine from Maroon 5. :-D

    I have quite a few check shirts - the thing is, I remember when they were previously fashionable 20 years ago!

    Ooh I hate these fecking things! Wear skinny jeans so tight they're half way up your hole, but guys that wear these ridiculous t shirts are always the most self obsessed mouthy gobshítes I've ever met. Reminds me of Georie Shore.

    I bought grey toms in America, they are actually called bobs...I wore them out once. Jesus they are ugly shoes. Can't imagine mustard ones

    Bizarrely, I've just ordered a pair of maroon skinny jeans off ebay 5 minutes ago. Didn't even know this was a 'thing' - was just searching for any old jeans in my size and I thought "they'll make a nice change from all my blue and black pairs, why not?". I'll probably start noticing them everywhere now.
    I'm a girl by the way if that lessens your hatred.

    But I say live and let live - trends come and go, you're not gonna like all of them.

    Having said that, I really can't stand those low-cut tops on boys though. I'm doing a college course where most of my class are younger and trendier than me, and the lads wear these a lot. I just don't get it; looks weirdly effeminate or something. But hey, it's not me they're trying to impress so whatever floats their boat...

    Same here. tell me are the girls in your college wearing tights but calling them leggings? I'm used to seeing girls wearing leggings as trousers. But these are completly see through.

    I assumed they were Penneys leggings that were washed once or twice :pac:.

    Speaking of your arse - did you ever get that tattoo?

    Ha, yes, and tiny denim shorts over tights is normal day-wear. They look half naked most of the time! It's an improvement over summer time when young ones literally had half their arses on view!
    (I'm sure the guys won't be complaining too much about that trend, but god it looks awful!)

    leggings / thick tights with short tops.

    I don't need to see every crease of your anatomy thank you very much

    why do people care so much about what other people wear?

    I think maroon is the colour of the season, everyone is wearing the exact same maroon hoodies too.

    No, I got arse acne.

    I'm not even joking :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,573 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    Do many people still wear the tight jeans with the pulled down baggy arse on them? Watching people run for the bus with them is entertainment everyone can enjoy. The fashion equivalent of hobbling.

    Im not obsessed with the trend. I just like popping hipster bubbles.

    The young ones dress sense nowadays Is just so splash dash and homogenised. I preferred the days when you had sub groups like metallers, goths, grungers, jocks, punks etc.

    Fair play to the chavs though. At least you know what you're dealing with.

    Go to around 45 seconds and substitute in pants for dress...

    Do we not still have all these groups? Isn't Jock an American high school type thing?

    The Hulk has worn maroon pants for years. Suits him well, goes nicely with the green skin. Truly a beast before his time.
